Spring and Summer Finishes

I haven't made a post in a while but have been piecing and quilting somewhat. Although gardening and boating get in the way of summer quilting, I have a few projects to share. 

Tapestry Quilt

I took a Tapestry class at the Paducah Quilt Show in the spring and finished by project a few weeks later. Each of the flowers were fussy cut before sewing them on the background fabric. All done in free motion. Fabrics were Tula Pink. The class was an all-day one, and I didn't finish in class and spent several more hours at home quilting the tapestry.

Each of the flowers were fussy cut before sewing them on the background fabric. All done in free motion. I laid the flowers out at home to get an idea of just how many flowers to fussy cut. There was quite a bit of prep work before the class. 

Blue Bird Quilt

My version of Follow the Blue Bird Quilt by Riley Blake. I used the pieced block for the bird. 

Fabrics were from the Hush Hush line and other Riley Blake fabrics.

A throw for our boat designed with 

boating/beach fabric. 

I quilted this quilt in the hoop. 

From My Gardens:

I have spent lots of time in my gardens over the spring and summer and will share a couple of blooms with you.

I've been growing dahlias for two years and just love them. 

Swallowtail butterflies enjoy the lantana blooms. 

Hummers

I'm happy to report, we still have hummingbirds visiting out feeders. They will be leaving soon!

Thanks for stopping by and happy quilting - Judy.
